do they got one for 80 amps @ 15kv

No. That is too much for nearly any technology, MosFET, IGBT whatever

Digikey's parametric search says there are 447 PNP transistors with Ic of 3.5A or better (and up to 60A...)

Parametric searches let you search through a database based on parameters rather than on strings. VERY useful.

  • Start at http://www.digikey.com and enter pnp transistor in the search field
  • On the next page, click on Transistors (BJT) - Single (this gets you to the parameter page)
  • Collector Current is the first column. Use shift-click to select a useful range rather than an exact value.
  • Try to pare down the results to a reasonable number with the other columns. Package is a good one...
Mouser has something similar, and allows you to search results by price; it might be a better choice.

I found 2 that might be obsolete, but here are the numbers: 2N3962-ND PN5139-ND And here is a very large list of Data sheets for High Power transistors - PNP
